Turkey's Erdogan laments loss of Ottoman Empire at pro-Palestinian rally

"During a massive rally in Istanbul in support of Palestinians over the weekend, Turkish
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan lamented the loss of the
Ottoman Empire, vowing that his country must "never allow new Gazas to emerge again," a report says.
Erdogan compared cities in Greece, Macedonia, Syria, Iraq and Gaza to ones in Turkey, saying that they were "an inseparable part of the homeland’s territory," according to Abdullah Bozkurt, a journalist and director of the Nordic Research & Monitoring Network.
"A century ago, for this nation and this country, Gaza was what Adana is," Erdogan reportedly said.
"They separated us from all these lands that are as much a part of us as our blood, our life, and our love," he continued." FOX
